When talking about the concept of "frontier", it is commonly understood as a physical, cultural, social or ideological limit that serves to mark the differences between the parts that are left on either side of that real, imaginary or abstract limit. That is, a line, a barrier, a wall, which divides; which determines the position or belonging of each other. Sometimes, the differences between both sides are so large that they generate gaps, unevenness. The causes of these differences may be caused by economic, political, educational, technological factors, to name a few (Ford, 2019: 34). But these factors are not independent, autonomous actors, but exert a mutual and reciprocal influence; they are boosted or limited, causing the gaps to widen or narrow or, even, that the boundaries can be crossed, temporarily or permanently displacing or erasing borders (Lee, & Lee, 2009: 49). The technological revolution that we have been experiencing in the last century produced an economic development that, in turn, transformed today's societies, and with them the educational system and the needs of the citizens. In order to meet these new needs, it is essential to prove that some of these borderlines are not continuous; that both sides can communicate through an integrative dialogue.
